Why, if it can be made to conform to the SVID and applicable ABIs? The
additional functionality and performance available through the use of a
modern kernel instead of a swiss-army-knife coroutine-based hack should
more than outweigh the extra development costs. If they can do it without
a UNIX source licence it may even be cheaper.

And I'd *love* to be able to *not* load all that BSD and Sys V compatibility
crud if I don't want to.
